Jimmy Choo Offers Men’s Footwear Collection
For years, many a stylish woman has hankered after expanding her footwear collection with one or more pairs from the iconic brand Jimmy Choo. Men wondering what all the fuss has been about can finally find out for themselves, as the top shoe, bag and perfume label is now offering a collection for men.
A previous men’s collection was discontinued in 2002 as the brand chose to focus all its energies on the women’s line, but it has now been determined that the time is right for a dedicated men’s collection. According to Choo co-founder Tamara Mellon, “My vision of the Jimmy Choo man is one who exudes confidence and style whether he is an artist or an investment banker. The first thing I look at on a man is his shoes.”
The first collection, for autumn/winter 2011, offers a wide range of Jimmy Choo mens footwear, with something to excite everyone. There are black leather biker boots made of calfskin with pewter buckles, a male variant of an existing women’s style which is ever popular.
Other options include high-top cashmere trainers in funky animal prints, as well as luxurious evening slippers in a Paisley print, Chelsea boots and classic loafers in leather.
The existing collaboration with Hunter wellies, which saw the production of a women’s black Hunter boot in a mock crocodile print with a gold coloured buckle, will now be extended to make a similar version available for men.
For spring/summer 2012, the collection expands to offer yet more adventurous colours and styles such as red shiny calfskin loafers, denim loafers with a Union Jack print, star-studded Nappa high top trainers and flower-printed canvas and suede loafers. Ponyskin loafers are offered in zebra, leopard and tiger prints, with silk cotton paisley jacquard print trainers available for the more extrovert man. The Jimmy Choo logo is also written on the underside in red lettering. Shoe sizes range from 39 to 46 (European sizing). Take a look and see what women have been eulogizing about all these years.
